The Biggest Way I Saved Money This Week
This week I started reviewing every bill looking for a way to lower our monthly expenses. My biggest savings so far came from Directv. I have been a customer of theirs for almost 10 years. When we first moved into our home, cable was not available in this area so we had no choice to go with a satellite provider.
I called customer service and asked if there was any way I could receive a discount since I was a loyal customer. That didn't work. My customer service representative kept trying to offer me another package with a $2-$3 savings. That was not what I was looking for. After repeating several times that I was calling to see if their was a discount available for being a loyal customer, he began to get a little frustrated with me. At this point, I googled their competitor and started comparing what I could receive if I switched providers. He then transferred me to their promotions department. (Note: Ask for the promotions department if you try this. This where you get results!) I spoke with a wonderful, helpful young lady who was able to give me what I was looking for. I got a $25 discount off our monthly bill for 12 months plus I also received 2 movie packages FREE for 3 months.
I was on the phone for almost 20 mins but I finally did accomplish my goal. I was very happy with my outcome. I plan to take advantage of the FREE movie channels and DVR some great movies to be used in the future for FREE entertainment.
One phone call saved $25 a month, $300 savings for 12 months plus 2 FREE movie packages ($77.94 value) for 3 months.
Have you ever asked for a discount from your satellite or cable company before?

Thought of the Day
Sometimes you just need to be alone. Not to be lonely, but to enjoy your free time being yourself.

This thought definitely sums up the past couple of weeks. It has been busy and hectic for me. Between being a chapron for a field trip with Payton's class, the wonderful stomach bug visiting both of my kids last weekend, filing my taxes, my everyday household duties as a mom and wife, and trying everyday to find new ways to save money. I truly hope this week "our normal" routine returns.
